Ten Hag signed Hojlund for Manchester UnitedStriker disappointed to see Dutchman leaveReveals what he thinks about new boss AmorimFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
United sacked Ten Hag in October 2024 after a dismal start to the season and replaced the Dutchman with Amorim. Ten Hag spent two-and-a-half years in charge of the Red Devils and won a League Cup and an FA Cup but was unable to build a team capable of challenging for the Premier League title during his time at Old Trafford despite bringing a host of big-money buys to the club.

The Red Devils will be hoping Amorim can restore the club to its former glories. The Portuguse coach has largely struggled to improve results so far, as he tries to implement a new system amid something of an injury crisis, and has his team currently down in 13th place in the table. Hojlund, who was signed for United by Ten Hag, has admitted he was disappointed to see the Dutchman leave the club but is excited to now be working with Amorim.
WHAT HOJLUND SAID
According to , he said: "I’m focused on the task with Ruben, because that project is incredibly exciting, but Erik was of course one of the reasons why I moved to Manchester United. He was doing something good and was a talented coach, but it didn’t work out, and that’s how it is. I’m still very happy to be at Manchester United. It’s the club I’ve always dreamed of playing for. And I’m really happy for Ruben. He’s a cool character and a cool person."

Hojlund recently ended a 21-game goal drought for United. His strike in the 3-0 win over Leicester was his first for the Red Devils since December 7 against Nottingham Forest.
